I hope you all suffocate under an avalanche of maple leaves you fucking monsters.

I'm planning on suffocating under an avalance of burning leaves from the eventual winner here.

A man, a plan, a canal, a flag, a canada, a panama, a-buh-bye

Down to two. Musical heavyweights collide.

This is horseshit. I abstain.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 2:42 pm

Yeah I think this one got personal, but in a weird way. At least that won't happen again (sees 64 European flags looming)

I swear to Christ if you guys fuck this up because of some hard on for American Gothic, I'ma Scottie this place to the ground.

Holy shit it’s an undersea weapon of the gods what is the matter with you people

I almost abstained, it's that cool a flag.

Yeah, I don't really get all the hate. First off, it's a fucking TRIDENT. I'm on record with my African voting pattern that weapons on a flag are fucking dope.

Secondly, that's as close to MI colors as your gonna get on a flag, so suck it on that front, too.

I would've voted for this:

Is that a Yooper flag?

Might as well be.

(To my knowledge, it first showed up during Nik Stauskas's run for the bball team. It's back in favor with Iggy doing his thing (even though it's kind of a stretch as he's Lithuanian.))

Can't upload at the moment but Rihanna > Doug E. Doug as Barbados* wins the region. Taking the weekend off and then the Union Jacks get another chance when we move on to OCEANIA.

*This is a great flag. Unique colors without being garish. Symmetry. A simple symbol and colors that let you know exactly what the country is about without a dumb seal or text. Deserving winner.

So, in the wrap-up show, I'd love to know:

What was the flag you guys were fired up about. Canada?

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:31 am

Yes, and Haiti for me.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 11:50 am

Love Haiti too, but still shocked at the USA's early departure.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Fri Mar 08, 2019 12:14 pm

Canada was the toughest call for me. If you're throwing in anthem + flag, they're gonna probably win the overall title.

The Sharks played Montreal in San Jose last night. The guy sang the Canadian anthem in French. Way cool!

The legend that was Roger Doucet.

Those sweaters look like a Molson Canadian label. Did Molson copy the sweater, or sponsor it?

The date on that video must be wrong - just did some research - those were the shirts that the juniors (including Gretzky) wore for the World Junior Championships in 1978.

That same style with a red half leaf was around for a number of years.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 8:52 am

Let's get Pacific. I threw in a bunch of territories and dependencies and such to get to a bracketable number, so to keep this one a little shorter we're immediately cutting down to the quarterfinals. Pick your 2 favorites each day.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 8:54 am

The coat of arms for Flag 5 is here (but kindly ignore the people and ship since they aren't on the flag)

BSF21 · Post by **BSF21** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 8:55 am

Now we're actually in Trident-land and I don't see any bullshit flags.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 9:10 am

So #8 is clearly an ant kebab, but what on earth is #1?

Traditional pectoral ornament!

I would think the Mediterranean is more Trident-land than anywhere else.

I'm ride or die with the Spice Boys.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Tue Mar 12, 2019 2:33 pm

I don't like any of these flags. Maybe #1 is cool if it's not some kind of gross sea snail like I think it is. #2 being off center is driving me nuts, so I can only imagine how much Mr. D hates it. I should go back and vote for it...

We have a tie for the 2nd spot and I stopped allowing revotes so if anyone else wants to contribute, now's the time.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Mar 18, 2019 11:44 am

Still tied, flipped a coin. Sorry, Palmyra!

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Mar 18, 2019 11:46 am

Group B open

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Mon Mar 18, 2019 11:51 am

Flags with place names on them are charmingly childlike.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Mon Mar 18, 2019 12:17 pm

So just to clarify, is Easter Island’s flag a whale, or a guy in a hammock, or the Rolling Stones lips?

BIRDS > WORDS

GROUP C going up now.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Tue Mar 19, 2019 10:42 am

FInally, a two color flag with a tree motif worth a darn.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Tue Mar 19, 2019 10:45 am

That thing in the middle of #4 is either a tribute to Jessica Rabbit or a "penu", which is a piece of rock or coral used to crush food and medicine

Pick your two favorites from GROUP E
